Anyway, circulation is down because it's a PM paper in an AM world, but there are at least two veterans in that department who are great writers and reporters and even better people. They don't cover preps like they used to because they simply don't have the resources, but there's some great prep football and basketball programs in the coverage area, and I believe they still cover all Colts home games.

Journal-Gazette is the first place I ever interviewed, and my trip there was my first in an airplane.

Has it really been 25 years?

I once interviewed there too. I flew in a plane where there was one row of seats and each of the seats were folded down. It was a very bumpy ride. After reaching Cincinnati where I was to change planes, I swore I wouldn't step foot in a plane like that or take the job if offered. I didn't get the gig so I never stepped foot on another plane like that.
